The progress of a task in TaskFreak! is shown as a percentage
value and is not exactly visually appealing to quickly spot the
progress. With a few minor alterations we can show the percentage
completed bar that fills as the task progresses and a gradient
bar indicating the progress along with the percentage value.

The Search Plugin for TaskFreak! created
by DaDaemon and xdu v0.0.1 (March 26, 2007) was designed to
create a simple, quick search capability of the tasks title and
description. As well it only searched through he current task
view (tasks visible at the time) and tasks that are not
completed. For some this was not what was desired and would
rather have the Search Plugin search through all tasks weather
completed or not and as well search through the comments of tasks
along with the title and description. I’ll show you how this is
done using Searcher, bchristie and davidlmansfield instructions
posted on the TaskFreak! Forums.

TaskFreak!
does not show within the interface a unique ticket/task number.
Depending on the use of TaskFreak! having such a value can have
it’s benefits. Since this unique value does already exist in the
back end, it will be fairly trivial to render this value within
the task list and task details panel. I will show you how this is
done using Searcher’s solution posted in the TaskFreak! Forum. There has been some
modifications but not much.

Solution

Edit index.php in the root of TaskFreak!. Add the table
header column just below line # 248 as follows.

For some reason or another the priority menu in the edit task
panel is not wide enough and therefore it cuts off the priority
names. This can be easily fixed by modifying some inline CSS. Yes
I agree this should be done within the skin’s CSS file, however
there is nothing present in the CSS file to alter that I could
find.

Solution

Edit /taskfreak/include/html/xajax_panel_edit.php at line #18 by
changing the width value of “40px” to “125px” or to what you
desired width.

TaskFreak! presently does not have a means via the web interface
to present a complete list of tasks for which the current user is
the project leader. I will show you how to add “My Projects” list
based on bpiper’s solution with a slight difference. My
solution is almost identical to bpiper’s but with a different
approach to continue support of the supported interface
languages. To do this each supported language file will require
to be edited.

Thanks to bpiper for posting your solution.

Solution

Edit /taskfreak/include/language/en/freak.php starting at
line #15. Add in a new array key/value at any point you desire
like so “‘my_projects’ => ‘My Projects’,” (without double
quotes), see below for example.
